Fortnite’s new patch notes for the upcoming v8.40 version update is now out, and it has some surprises for the fans. But this does come as a surprise since Fortnite’s World Cup Qualifying is already underway, and we are getting a patch with some new elements. But it needs to be mentioned that this week’s patch, v8.40 is not as large as the usual ones. The most significant thing to be added this time around is a new weapon to the battle royale. Well this isn’t exactly a new weapons but the Epic and Legendary versions of the Infantry Rifle.

This new version of the Infantry Rifle comes with a new model and a different sound effect as well. Besides these there’s isn’t much difference between this and the already available gun. It will be rarer than the already available versions of the guns. The modes of the Infantry Rifles have not changed and they are still semi-automatic and have hitscan, which means that it is easier to hit the targets than with other guns.
